David Warren asks and answers,
here. An excellent read.
"
Israelis are fairly certain they lost, but their government says they won. Hezbollah and their Iranian and Syrian sponsors said they won, but their messages were pre-recorded. The Palestinians seem convinced Hezbollah won, but that might be taken as a proof that they lost. Everyone in the Bush administration says Hezbollah lost, but they privately concede it was, at best, a draw. On balance, the Western media assumed Israel had won, until the Israelis denied it."
